This ALL brick home was custom designed and built for the current owners. Exterior Front
A wide front porch overlooks the exceptionally quiet block with other lovely, well-kept homes. The plumb brickwork is typical of the highest standards of construction from 1965. Roof is relatively new with ridge vents. A first-class installation. Facade/Exterior Front
This first floor room could be a home office or reception room for the large studio. Lobby/Reception
A close-up of the genuine oak flooring from 1965. Not all hardwood floors are created equal. These are thick, solid and in remarkably good condition. Perfect surface for a dance studio. Studio/Study/Office
Another view of this room shows the entrance to the huge half bath which features a dressing room with lighted mirror. This room features a vaulted ceiling and closet space. Studio/Study/Office
Entrance foyer is 10' x 10' and features a slate floor in excellent condition and a dramatic curved staircase to the second floor. Note the oak treads under carpet on the staircase. Impossible to duplicate this kind of quality today. Foyer
Large windows allow lots of light to stream into this part of the living/dining room. Hardwood floors under the carpet. This room is right off the kitchen and could be used as a banquet sized dining room. Living Room
Plenty of space in this eat-in kitchen which could be used "as is" or updated to the new owner's specifications. A utility room with washer and dryer is conveniently located off this kitchen and has a door to the rear stoop and wooded back yard. Kitchen
This garden level great room is at grade with a large door to the back yard. In addition, there are two dark rooms on this level and a large workshop with a half bath, all on solid concrete. Plenty of elec. outlets which appear to be grounded. Den/Family/Great Room
One of four upstairs bedrooms. This one features a windowed closet. Bedroom
How many of today's homes, even those in the higher price ranges, feature hardwood floors upstairs? Bedroom
Hall bath features ceramic tile, tub and shower, pretty much as it was when originally built. Bathroom
Master suite bathroom with walk-in shower and ceramic tile plus linen closet. This beautiful older home does need the decorator's touch but it has been lovingly maintained by the owners who pay close attention to detail.
